I am looking for a suitable technique to monitor kinetics of reaction or degree of cure in crosslinked polymers. Any suggestion will be great help.

Dear Imran,
To monitor the kinetics of curing reaction you can use SAOS method (small amplitude oscillatory deformation) under stretching (DMA) or torsional (rheometry) mode. The choise of the technique depends on the sample (consistency, etc.).
Gleb B. Vasilyev...thank you very much. I am interested to know the effect of radiant energy on cure and on degree of polymerization. DSC is commonly used technique to study cure kinetics but as it works with heat absorption, its make the process ambigues how much polymerization occured due to radiant energy. DMA in comparison will not affect that way.....thanks a lot
